Gift pack for my buddy Jen at work, using her stamps! This vintage 2002 set was not even cut, so I had the pleasure of using them first, and she loved them. She is giving them to her cross stitch pals.
The angels were watercolored, sponged and the heart she is holding was flocked in red. IRL they have a very 'homey' feeling. The buttons have a coat of Crystal Effects to make them stand out a bit, and the angel's wings were painted with white Twinkling H2o's.
Thanks for looking!

WOW!! Pat!! Look at you posting up a storm. How fun to have gotten to play with this vintage fresh rubber. I have that angel sitting out just trying to figure out what I want to do with her. I love how you've mounted her onto the topnote and the many beautiful touches you've given her with her flocked heart, shimmery wings and golden glow. Those gingham bows are just wonderful too. You've been busy lady!!
